Veteran Lead Adviser, Carers Plus Yorkshire

Snainton/Northallerton: Veteran Lead Adviser, Carers Plus Yorkshire

Salary:  £28,781

Base: Snainton & Northallerton Offices (with hybrid working/ community based outreach in military communities)

Contract: Fixed-term (project funded until September 2027)

Hours: Full-time

About the role and project:

With Honour We Care is a dedicated project supporting unpaid carers of serving personnel and veterans who are wounded, injured or sick. Carers Plus Yorkshire recognise that many carers within military communities are hidden, often isolated, resilient and reluctant to seek help. Their work is about meeting carers where they are, building trust, and providing the right support at the right time.

They take a whole-family approach, working alongside carers and their families to build resilience, emotional strength and practical knowledge. Their goal is to empower carers with the confidence and skills to navigate daily challenges, access appropriate support, and reduce isolation through meaningful connection with others.

They’re seeking a compassionate and motivated Veteran Lead to deliver personalised, high-quality support to unpaid carers and their families across their full geographical area.

The postholder will provide 1-to-1 information, advice and guidance, alongside emotional support, to carers most impacted by their caring responsibilities. As trusted relationships develop, the role will expand to supporting wider family needs and co-designing realistic, sustainable plans that create positive change.

This role is particularly suited to someone with lived experience of the Armed Forces community, ideally a veteran or someone with experience of caring within a military context.

If this sounds like the role for you, Carers Plus Yorkshire offer in return an attractive annual leave package of 25 days plus bank holidays pro rata (with service length increases up to 30 days plus bank holidays).

Own transport essential due to some rural locations.
